eventfd: convert to use anon_inode_getfd()
Nothing actually calls eventfd_file_create() besides the eventfd2()
system call itself. So simplify things by folding it into the system
call and using anon_inode_getfd() instead of anon_inode_getfile(). This
removes over 40 lines with no change in functionality.
(eventfd_file_create() was apparently added years ago for KVM irqfd's,
but was never used.)

-/**
- * eventfd_file_create - Creates an eventfd file pointer.
- * @count: Initial eventfd counter value.
- * @flags: Flags for the eventfd file.
- *
- * This function creates an eventfd file pointer, w/out installing it into
- * the fd table. This is useful when the eventfd file is used during the
- * initialization of data structures that require extra setup after the eventfd
- * creation. So the eventfd creation is split into the file pointer creation
- * phase, and the file descriptor installation phase.
- * In this way races with userspace closing the newly installed file descriptor
- * can be avoided.
- * Returns an eventfd file pointer, or a proper error pointer.
